Policy Conditions 1. Reasonable Precautions You must take or cause to be taken all reasonable precautions to prevent or minimise Injury or Damage and any perimeter walls, gates and fences must be kept in good repair. 2. Alterations You or Ashburnham Insurance Services Limited must tell Us immediately if during the Period of Insurance there is any alteration in risk or to the facts which You disclosed when You took out this policy, which materially affects the risk of injury, loss, Damage or liability which would fall within the policy cover. This includes but is not limited to alterations to the Business. When You tell Us about an alteration in risk, We may apply additional terms and conditions to this policy (including but not limited to premium) or, if the risk is unacceptable to Us, We may cancel the policy in accordance with Policy Conditions Item 8 (Our Rights to Cancel the Policy). If an alteration creates an additional premium, this will be subject to a minimum premium of 10 plus Insurance Premium Tax. If as a result of a mid term alteration You are due a refund of premium, amounts of under 10 plus the prevailing rate of Insurance Premium Tax as stated on Your policy Schedule will not be returned to You, to cover administration costs. If You fail to tell Us about an alteration in risk, We may: (a) terminate the policy back to the date when the alteration occurred, if We would have cancelled the policy had You told Us of the alteration in risk; (b) proportionately reduce the amount payable in respect of a claim; and/or (c) treat the policy as if it contained such different terms (other than relating to the premium) that We would have applied to the policy had You told Us of the alteration in risk. Any reduction in claims payments or application of different terms will take effect from the date on which the alteration in risk occurred. Where We elect to proportionately reduce the amount payable in respect of a claim, We will pay a percentage of the claim, the percentage being calculated by comparing the premium which You actually paid with the premium which We would have charged had You told us about the alteration in risk. For example, if the premium which You actually paid is 70% of the premium We would have charged, We will only pay 70% of any claim. 3. Change of Risk or Interest This policy shall be avoided if: (a) Your interest ceases other than by death (b) the Business be wound up or carried on by a liquidator or receiver or permanently discontinued at any time after the commencement of this insurance unless We have accepted the change.

If We do treat this policy as having terminated, You will have no cover under this policy from the date of termination and will not be entitled to any refund of premium. Where a fraudulent claim is made by or on behalf of a person who is not the Insured, this condition applies only to that person s claim and references to this policy should be read as if they were references to the cover for that person alone and not to the policy as a whole. Fraudulent claims include but are not limited to: (a) making a claim which is fraudulent, fictitious or known to be false (b) intentionally exaggerating or inflating a claim (c) supporting a claim with false or forged documents, information or statements (d) wilfully causing loss, Damage or injury 6.

Policy Conditions continued 7. Other Insurances If the Damage or liability which is the subject of a claim under this policy is covered by any other insurance We will not pay more than Our rateable proportion 8.

If an instalment is not received by the due date then subject to the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (if applicable) the credit agreement and the policy will be cancelled immediately. 10. Arbitration If any difference arises as to the amount to be paid under this policy (liability being otherwise admitted) such difference shall be referred to an arbitrator to be appointed by the parties in accordance with statutory provisions. Where any difference is by this condition to be referred to an arbitrator the making of an award shall be a condition precedent to any right of action against Us. 10
Policy Conditions continued 11. Fair Presentation of the Risk You must make a fair presentation of the risk when You first take out this policy and also whenever You renew it or ask Us to change Your cover. If You fail to make a fair presentation of the risk including failing to disclose or misrepresenting a material fact, or disclosing material facts to Us in a way which is not clear and accessible. We may avoid this policy and refuse all claims where: (a) such failure was deliberate or reckless; or (b) We would not have entered into this policy on any terms had You made a fair presentation of the risk. Should We avoid this policy We: (a) shall treat the policy as if it had not existed from the start date, the renewal date, or the date when You asked Us to change Your cover, depending on when the failure to make a fair presentation of the risk occurred (b) shall return the premium paid for the period for which the policy is treated as not having existed unless the failure to make a fair presentation of the risk was deliberate or reckless (c) may deduct from any return of premium due to You any monies already paid in respect of claims falling within the period for which the policy is treated as not having existed or require You to repay such claims. Provided that any failure to make a fair presentation of the risk is not deliberate or reckless, if We would have entered into or renewed this policy, or agreed to make changes to Your cover on different terms had You made a fair presentation of the risk, We may: (a) proportionately reduce the amount payable in respect of a claim; and/or (b) treat the policy as if it contained such different terms (other than relating to the premium) that We would have applied to the policy had You made a fair presentation of the risk. Any reduction in claims payments or application of different terms will take effect from the date on which the policy started, was renewed or when changes were made to Your cover, depending on when You failed to make a fair presentation of the risk. Where We elect to proportionately reduce the amount payable in respect of a claim, We will pay a percentage of the claim, the percentage being calculated by comparing the premium which You actually paid with the premium which We would have charged had You made a fair presentation of the risk. For example, if the premium which You actually paid is 70% of the premium We would have charged, We will only pay 70% of any claim. Where this policy provides benefits to individuals who would, if they had taken out similar insurance in their own name, have done so for purposes wholly or mainly unconnected with their trade, business or profession, We will not rely on this condition if the failure to make a fair presentation of the risk concerns only facts or information which relate to that particular individual, unless the individual (or You on their behalf) makes a careless misrepresentation, in which case We may rely on this condition as against that particular individual as if a separate insurance contract had been issued to them leaving the remainder of the policy unaffected. 11
Policy Conditions continued 12. Terms Not Relevant to Actual Loss If payment of a claim is conditional upon compliance with any term of this policy We will not pay for any claim where the term has not been complied with except where the term concerned: (a) is operative only in connection with particular premises or locations; (b) is operative only at particular times; or (c) is intended to reduce the risk of particular types of injury, loss, Damage or liability where We will pay for claims in respect of which You can prove that non-compliance with the term could not have increased the risk of the injury, loss, Damage or liability which occurred. 12
